A Christmas Lullaby

Christmas carols in assembly,
looking forward to the nativity
Reminding me of a time when I was young

Coach lights wrapped around the Christmas tree, Pillow case for stockings for my brothers and me
Reminding us of a time when we were young

I’m so much older now and my hairs turned grey
But I’ll never forget my childhood Christmas days

Opening presents at 5am,
Back to bed till we woke again
That’s what I remember when I was young

Christmas dinner that when for weeks,
The Queen came on and no one speaks
That’s what I remember when I was young

I’m so much older now and my hairs turned grey
But I’ll never forget my childhood Christmas days

I know that it’ sentimental but I don’t care
I’m still trying to find the innocence I had back then

Eric and Ernie’s Christmas special’s a treat,
We went to bed tired and beat
But we were happy as could be when we were young

Maybe this is just my mind playing tricks,
Looking back through rose coloured specs
But it’s what I remember when I was young

I’m so much older now and my hairs turned grey
But I’ll never forget my childhood Christmas days
I’ll never forget, I’ll never forget, no I’ll never forget
My childhood Christmas days.
